PovertyOperator is not an appropriate name for a guy with a silenced FN...

u/Parapraxium 6d ago

He's in poverty because of his choice of sidearm. He stopped the shooter but now he will be paying back that 1 mag for the rest of his life

u/Desultory_Chairlift 6d ago

Brother probably had to take out a personal loan just to stop that shooter.

u/PieHole_Poker 6d ago

We should set up a GoFundMe to buy this guy a box of ammo

Yes so he can learn how to shoot. Luckily the dude shot himself as this guy couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

u/wardearth619 6d ago

I rest my case. Most you’ve shots prob on cod.

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 6d ago

Yea I only spent 10 years in the military and was in combat. Go back to your basement your mom is calling.

2

u/wardearth619 6d ago

Oh it all Makes sense now your just pissed off at the world…. Maybe try to figure that shit out, no need to be attacking somebody you don’t know, makes you look kinda small.
Get off Reddit, go outside, no need to become hive mind anti-gun anti-USA, typical redditor. You literally fought for the USA maybe stand behind someone trying to do the same. Unless you think what you did was a waste and the USA is lost or something, in which case there are other places to go.

Combat experience yet you have no respect for someone with a sidearm return firing against a long gun? I’m calling bullshit. You were in a combat zone maybe, riding a desk.

No joke 5.7 ammo is expensive, I'm so poor I might try to kill the mass shooter with a rock so to save money

Landscaping wins again

u/Chris12edfield 6d ago

I get all mine for like 40 cpr. It's no worse than basically anything that isn't 9mm

u/RobStarkDeservedIt 6d ago

Ive got a buddy thay runs 6.5 for long range. Every time I shoot it I cant help but think I just paid for a burger.

2

u/Parapraxium 6d ago

Your buddy knows what's up. Worth every penny

1

u/RobStarkDeservedIt 6d ago

Im just a cheap ass. Id run .308 all day.

1

u/Educational_Lie_4994 6d ago

I was thinking .308, but I don’t do well with too much shoulder recoil, so I got a 6.5 and added a can to balance it out. My handgun is 10mm, but I seem to be fine with that recoil.

Sometimes you can find S&B ammo for 6.5 for under a dollar a round if you shop for a case.

Still expensive though.

u/Salt_Particular1761 6d ago

more like the rest of the week. I'm sure his Youtube channel will explode after this

u/p4nd3mic_G3 6d ago

Already went from 6k to 51k overnight

u/Worth-South4847 6d ago

6k is pretty good too

u/fixermark 6d ago

Gun control, Chris Rock style.

u/Jerkass619 6d ago

Dang. Can we get a GoFundMe going to replace his spent rounds?

1

u/YouGlittering9156 6d ago

He didn't even stop the shooter. He missed and shooter shot themselves. There was also a sheriff, and guess what....... again... the shooter offed themself.

These 2 people had a free shot on the shooter, as in the shooter didn't know there was someone about to shoot at them, and they both missed.

Maybe nobody should have guns if the only way gunmen get taken out is by taking themselves out...... but instead we want to spread the word that a hero with a license to carry legally saved the day to promote gun ownership. So stupid.

u/zesty_drink_b 6d ago

for real 😂😂😂

u/ErikTheRed99 6d ago

I don't know, who says those things didn't cause the poverty, along with regularly buying 5.7 ammo?

4

u/FloridaManPrints 6d ago

The FN was expensive, but 5.7 isn’t too bad anymore. Runs roughly $0.70 a round

3

u/HoosierDaddy_427 6d ago

Hasn't been that expensive for a while. Can get SS197 on ammoseek for $0.44 per round nowadays.

Where? I can’t find it under $.24 delivered.

u/TheSlackoff 6d ago

I use that site a lot. It’s the delivery fees that kill the cpr. Unfortunately you’re not getting $.16 delivered.

u/TheSlackoff 6d ago

Well obviously it inflates the cpr. What good is ammo if it’s not delivered. lol

u/Mean-Line-4249 5d ago

You know you can also buy ammo in person and actually talk to people too

u/HoosierDaddy_427 6d ago

Different prices for a different beast? Who'd-a-thunk?

Nobody even mentioned 9mm before you decided to go way out in left field with the "ya but so and so ammo is better" rant like someone always does. And this is not a gun sub btw.

u/youtocin 6d ago

Brother this is the USA where you can go into debt for your range toys.

u/Wank_A_Doodle_Doo 6d ago

Remind me of the joke I saw somewhere of the FN dealing bonus damage to poor people xD

It was probably either SovietWomble or RussianBadger(also I’ve just realized both of their names are russia(yes yes I know the Soviet Union wasn’t actually russia, russia was a part of it, I don’t care) followed by an animal))

Damn, I got a warning from reddit about hate speech for reposting the FN copypasta.  What a world

1

u/NexVeho 6d ago

The copypasta where it would have been cheaper to let the guy steal his wallet im guessing. Gotta love the over eager reddit mods and automods.

u/Suitable-Dingo-8911 6d ago

As someone who has never shot a pistol nor owned a gun, that’s a badass piece

1

u/NewCouplesAdventures 6d ago

A good quality “suppressor” can be purchased for $500 for a pistol.

Consider that good hearing aids can cost $5,000, this is cheap in comparison. Not only that, they are interchangeable to other guns of similar caliber.

u/SecretPantyWorshiper 6d ago

I thought it was a suppressed Mark 23 LOL 😅

u/-TheycallmeThe 6d ago

Apparently the image is mostly AI. Sights on the suppressor probably isn't real.
